President Trump pardons Utah man who served 13 years for selling marijuana
Angelos s case made national headlines when he was sentenced in 2004 to a mandatory minimum of 55 years in prison for selling marijuana. The penalty was higher because Angelos had a gun with him, though he didn t use it.
Angelos was released from prison in 2016 after serving 13 years.
White House staffers wrote that Angelos s pardon was supported by Sen. Mike Lee, former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman, and criminal justice reform advocate Alice Johnson.
Since his release, Angelos has become an advocate for criminal justice reform and champion of giving second chances, White House staff wrote.
